The DNR says the units were set in areas where other methods of controlling wolf populations have been ineffective.

The three designated Wolf Management Units are in Gogebic County with a target harvest of 16 wolves, portions of Baraga, Gogebic, Houghton and Ontonagon counties with a target harvest of 19 wolves, and in portions of Luce and Mackinac counties with a target harvest of eight wolves.

The season will run until the target harvest for each unit is reached, but no later than Dec. 31st.

A total of 1,200 licenses were sold, and no additional licenses are available.
